Knowledgeable and friendly staff. Next day orders. NAPA Auto Parts began in 1925 as the National Automotive Parts Association, formed by independent suppliers in Detroit to create a better parts distribution system, with Carlyle Fraser becoming a key founder and establishing Genuine Parts Company (GPC) in Atlanta in 1928. GPC grew by partnering with NAPA, eventually becoming the parent company, launching the first NAPA-branded parts in 1966, and expanding globally, growing from a single store into a massive network supporting auto shops and DIYers with quality parts and service. Key Milestones: 1925: The National Automotive Parts Association (NAPA) is founded by 28 independent auto parts sellers in Detroit. 1928: Carlyle Fraser establishes Genuine Parts Company (GPC) in Atlanta after buying a store, becoming a NAPA partner. 1936: The first official NAPA Auto Parts store opens. 1940s: The Parts Bible (classification book) is launched, and NAPA begins product information schools. 1948: Genuine Parts Company goes public. 1966: NAPA officially launches its own branded parts, like filters and batteries, through the GPC network. 1970s-1980s: NAPA expands nationwide, becoming a trusted symbol in garages, and GPC diversifies into industrial parts (Motion Industries) and office supplies (S.P. Richards). 1990s-2000s: Continued growth, including international expansion into Canada and other markets. Today: NAPA celebrates 100 years, maintaining its core mission of providing quality parts and service, with most stores independently owned but supported by the GPC network.

Stopped in to pick up the parts I ordered on line. Was charged xtra on my card and need to call manager to find out why. Overall, good experience. Great prices and if you sign up for the rewards, you can get additional discounts. I saved an additional $5 on this purchase. Definitely helps. Thank you.
